Nor was I under the impression I lived in Canada. David's actions are socially unacceptable in most of the world. I really can't think of any place where it would be acceptable for a person not related to arrive at a tribute to someone that is recently deceased and start ranting about how they wouldn't have died if only they had a gun. Could you tell me where those places are in the physical world? I think I will like to avoid them.

I see. His hypothetical actions are "socially unacceptable," so you feel the police should be called? This is a thread on an Internet forum. If you don't want to be here discussing the pros and cons of firearm protection in a coyote attack, then leave.

You folks act as if David has picketed her funeral with pro-gun propaganda.

Hi, Tico!

Is there something like corporatist solidarity?

@Francis,

Yeah, I think it goes under the label of 'professional courtesy', Francis. They feel (mostly rightly) that the world is against them so they must stick together. (There are always exceptions, of course; viz. Joefrom Chicago, Debra Law.)

I've no idea, but it sounds European if there is.

In this thread Always Eleven seems to fit the exception as well. Evidently there are more exceptions to your rule than otherwise, and thus it appears as if perhaps the exception is the rule.

I'm pretty sure my position in this thread has nothing to do with my profession.

David DID say he was old. Maybe he thinks he is in the old wild, wild west.
Maybe he is a contemporary of William Bonney.

I fear that we may be losing Richard into senility.
He implies that I encouraged over-aggressiveness
or
a pre-mature defense.
A reading of this thread shows that I have promoted counteraggression,
after a violent attack against an innocent victim (Taylor Mitchell) has begun.

I did not encourage attacking peaceful animals, which Richard
invited me to Canada to do. Of course, I did not accept.

I infer that Richard is an extreme pacifist like Neville Chamberlain.
I wonder if he keeps a picture of Chamberlain on his wall for purposes of adulation.

Are you suggesting the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution makes Americans act paranoid?

I can only formulate an opinion based on what I see David and others write. Based on what I see there, my answer would have to be yes.

I am sure, however, that David, you and the small band of brothers that shout out the right to bear arms are in the minority. For that I am thankful.

Don't worry, Tico. I do. And, in my neck of the woods he would be lying on his back on the floor. No police required.

It appears that the senility is yours, David.

1.. I did not invite you to Canada
2..I did not suggest you attack peaceful animals
3..I am not a pacifist. I am just not a paranoid gun nut
4..I do not keep pictures for use as adulation. Mr. Chamberlain included
5..I did not imply that you encouraged over aggressiveness. I implied that you are a moron.

Not sure I can agree with your logic there.

And you're wrong again.

I think you forget that David is armed. You might try to put him on his back, but that might be a risky proposition for you.

I'd be willing to take that chance. My brother and I were chased by two black bears years ago and we emerged unscathed without having or using a gun. David would be a pussycat in comparison.

Besides, he would be arrested at the border for attempting to bring his beloved firearm/s into Canada. Did you forget that part?

You fought two black bears, or you ran from two black bears?

I hardly think I am imagining that you turned a simple thread
about the tragic death of a folk singer into a continuous rant about guns.

This is a thread about a tragedy that coud have and shoud have been avoided,
either by remaining away from the habitats of feral predatory animals,
or by competent defense of timely counteraggression.
(Hopefully, future hikers will learn to be better equipped & more appropriately defensive.)

This point of vu is inconsistent with your preference of docile surrender into the discretion of an aggressor.
(either animal or human, right?)

U had earlier posted a response to me, whose significant language I color in red, as follows:

Quote:

There is no concern for you on my part David.
I am only observing that you act a certain way.

However if you happened to live next to me,
I would be concerned enough to report your behavior to the authorities
as a possible threat to yourself and others. It's probably a good thing
for you that most of us don't carry guns. Someone probably would
have shot you long ago out of fear of the way you act.

In this post Mr. Parados appears to imply a danger of suicide and of personal injury to "others".
The motivation for this is not indicated.

Mr. Parados, before u began your discussion of coffee shops
u still did not reveal WHAT "behavior" of mine u 'd report to "the authorities",
if u moved next door to me.
Perhaps u are unwilling to disclose that?

If you were to show up at a funeral or a wake or even just a coffee shop
where her death came up in discussion in my neck of the woods and do such a thing,
you would be asked to leave.

Apparently, Parados thinks that ONLY his point of vu,
(a point of vu of fatal docility), can be expressed in coffee shops.

Mr. Parados went on to post:

Quote:

If you didn't leave but continued to rant about guns,
the police would be called.

Here, he demonstrates his vu point that the brute power of government shoud be applied to enforce
his monopoly of free speech in coffee shops. Has Parados hallucinated the existence of a law
that only HIS philosphy can be represented in coffee shops ?

So, according to u, Richard, the INTELLIGENT way to handle the problem was to do so as she actually DID ?

(I infer that she probably turned her back and ran from the coyotes.)
